Formal debate
Formal debate revolves around a speakers list. The Chair begins by asking all delegates interested in addressing other members to raise their placards. The Chair then chooses delegates to be placed on the speakers list. A country may only be on the speakers list once at a time, delegates may add their country to the list after their speech.

Informal Debate
Informal debate involves discussion outside of the speakers list. (Motions for an unmoderated or a moderated caucus interrupt the flow of the formal debate). During moderated caucuses, the Chair calls on delegates one-by-one so that each can address the committee in short speeches. During unmoderated caucuses, the committee breaks for a temporary recess so that delegates may meet with each other and discuss ideas informally. Drafting resolutions happens during unmoderated caucuses.
